Do we want to digest those final 36 seconds? A chance to run down the clock and zero passes lead to a travelling. Then on defense, with three fouls to give in the final 9 seconds, they let Boise come down the court and score. Great job there, coach.

Usually I'd take just being down 6 against a top 50 team at the half, but that didn't feel like a good half, aside from the defense for the first 5 minutes.

Oddly defense was good initially, but shooting and TO's sucked.
And then, the shellshocked look, except for Trey trey and CJones layup.
Failed to take advantage of chance to cut the lead to a few points at half.
As can often be the GW case, the first 4 minutes can be critical to whether we dig a much bigger hole
or stay competitive. We've done Ok at times, but generally more vulnerable to this.

Yes, the portal people are giving the game away. Why let them play if they are just having a negative impact. And yes, the last minute was poorly coached. Sad.

Max is featured in the official ad for GW. Hilarious

Can we make a shot?

Been in the ad all year

How do you follow up 11 first half TOs? Two more in the first 30 seconds of the 2nd.

**Posted by Tennessee Colonial** 3/31/2025 5:45 pm

Start off 2nd with 2 turnovers. great.

**Posted by jf** 3/31/2025 5:53 pm

When we fight back within or close to striking distance, someone tries to do too much by themself.
A familiar pattern.

**Posted by Tennessee Colonial** 3/31/2025 5:55 pm

15 turnovers.

**Posted by GW Alum Abroad** 3/31/2025 5:55 pm

Hey, they ran a play out of a timeout (first time this season?). Then made a stop. And then, of course, ANOTHER turnover. 2 out of 3 ain´t bad, right?

**Posted by Wisconsin Colonial 1974** 3/31/2025 5:59 pm

Continually beating us off the dribble

**Posted by Tennessee Colonial** 3/31/2025 6:02 pm

Please bench Hutch. 5 turnovers is insane.

**Posted by Wisconsin Colonial 1974** 3/31/2025 6:07 pm

They’re quicker to the ball than we are

**Posted by jf** 3/31/2025 6:07 pm

On several plays, we screw up for a breakaway by Boise and the miscreant doesn't
try and chase down the play.
One of them was Jacoi when Trey Moore was there and Jacoi took his time getting down the
court.
I like Jacoi and there's a role for him if he changes his mind, but hustle guys,
Thought the money prospect in addition to keeping playing would light a spark for us.
Not seeing it so far.

**Posted by Tennessee Colonial** 3/31/2025 6:07 pm

17 turnovers with 11 minutes left. Good coaching? 58-44. Even announcers are amazed by our crap.

**Posted by Tennessee Colonial** 3/31/2025 6:09 pm

Next year some ball security should be taught. Nap time.

**Posted by Wisconsin Colonial 1974** 3/31/2025 6:13 pm

And we turn their weaknesses - poor 3 pt and not forcing TOs - into strengths

**Posted by jf** 3/31/2025 6:15 pm

Where's Ty Bevins?
Has he been too effective to get it into this submissive, ole defense lineup?
